How it Works

  • Set up independent variables, such as: gender; age and experience
  • Design coding scheme, specifying all behaviours of interest
  • Code behaviours live or from video, on a PC, laptop or mobile phone, using a mouse or key strokes
  • Integrate external data, such as eye tracking or physiology
  • Visualise data through graphs, tables and annotated video highlights
  • Analyse data, selecting from a wide range of statistical parameters
  • Check intra- and inter-rater accuracy using in-built Reliability Analysis
  • Export data to Excel or SPSS for further analysis
